Download Problem

[Tracy Mathews]

Last night I downloaded the latest version of XaoS for Mac OS X and created some wonderful images which I had no problem saving and posting to the web. Today the program would not run properly so I tried to downloading it multiple times and received this message:

Can anyone help? Thank you -Tracy

I'm using the same OS... 10.6.8 and after lots of productive sessions can't use Xaos on my MacBook Pro. 

Most of the other free fractal programs are crap compared to Xaos. 

I've tried finding and trashing the PLIST file and reinstalling but  didn't  fix.

Here are a few of the designs I made while it worked: http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=35521

I would very much like to continue with Xaos and hope there is a solution to this problem....Tim
